Kathleen Korda grew up at the Daly River mission before moving to
Peppimenarti in the 1960’s. Her mother & grandmother taught her to
weave baskets, string bags and fishnets. Passing on knowledge learnt
from their mother before them. This weaving knowledge informs Kathleen’s
artistic practice.
This painting represents traditional
body painting designs applied to male and female torsos for ceremonial
dance. The dots are referred to as durrmu - which
also mean painting. Kathleen expresses the essence of Durrmu in
imaginative shapes, transforming traditional lines and dotted markings
into unique forms.
